Americans often say that they just want Congress to "get things done," and yet Congress was designed by the Framers to move slowly. And, when it comes to executive orders, which can move policy quickly, people have a tendency to like them when they like the president and dislike them when they don't like the president. After completing Lesson 12, write an essay that answers all of the following prompt points:
· What are executive orders? In what ways are they different than Congressional legislation?
· What are the constitutional arguments for the legality of executive orders?
· What are the constitutional arguments against the legality of executive orders?
· In what ways might the swiftness of executive actions be good, and in what ways might
that same swiftness be problematic?
· Last of all and briefly, explain how you feel about the executive orders made by
Presidents Trump and Obama, and why.
Write informative facts first; keep opinion statements to a minimum and towards the end. Be sure to back up all opinion statements with supporting factual evidence.

Over the past few weeks of the semester, we’ve been working with “academic texts” to identify arguments, claims, evidence, strategies, & rhetorical appeals. In general, these texts share many of the same features, including making explicit arguments, creating practical solutions, using language that is accessible for the target audience, and using frequent appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos. 
What happens, however, when we try to analyze a genre that is not considered an “academic text?” Do any of the conventions change? Are any of the conventions similar? 
Assignment:
For this assignment, you are being asked to analyze two genres: (1) an academic text and (2) a television show. Ultimately, you will need to synthesize both genres and analyze the effectiveness of both arguments. 
You will use the following material for your analysis: 
Roger McNamee’s “I Invested Early in Google and Facebook. Now They Terrify Me” (2017)
Black Mirror, season 3, episode 1, “Nosedive” (2016) located on Netflix  
As an alternative for those who do not have access to Netflix, you can watch “Generation Like” by PBS (2014) located on YouTube 
Goals:
Read: McNamee’s article, taking note of his argument, rhetorical strategies, and rhetorical appeals
Watch: “Nosedive” or “Generation Like,” taking of their argument, rhetorical strategies, and rhetorical appeals 
Begin finding areas where the television show and written text agree, disagree, or use similar/different rhetorical strategies and appeals
You will need to identify four ways they are similar or different (can be 3 similar, 1 different; 2 similar, 2 different, etc.) 
Put the two media “in conversation” by synthesizing and analyzing the effectiveness of their choices
Develop an essay between 4-5 pages long 
Requirements:
4-5 pages in length 
MLA 8 Format 
MLA 8 Works Cited Page 
Direct quotes? make sure you introduce, integrate, and analyze. Don’t simply “drop in” quotes.
Because you are asked to write an analysis of an argument, you are required to evaluate whether or not McNamee’s and Black Mirror’s (or “Generation Like”) argument was effective or ineffective. Focus on walking your reader through the

Introduction:  The opening can present the context of war in general by referring to critical thinking questions: Is war necessary? Is war justified? Is war inevitable? Can we live in a world (one day) with peace? Or you can go right to the point to state whether dropping the bomb  an act that was necessary to defeat Japan and  the fastest way possible with the least casualties for the USA. -- or whether the act of dropping the bombs was an excessive  use of force and a show of power.

THESIS: Your thesis can state  your position that the atomic bombs were necessary or unnecessary. Your position should be clear. However, you can also do an essay that analyzes the decision to drop the atomic bombs but that does not make a statement either supporting or arguing against the decision.


SECTION ONE:

WRITE about the build-up to the decision. You can include:

How Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and forced our entry into WW2
That Pres. Roosevelt died in office leaving Harry S. Truman to lead the war
The secret project called The Manhattan Project was so top-secret even Truman did not know anything about it when he became president
The decision to build a bomb was urged by Albert Einstein who wrote a letter to Roosevelt because the Germans were trying to develop an atomic weapon



SECTION 2:

WRITE about the background of Japanese
The Japanese were ruthless warriors that goes far back to the Samaurai code and what is called the “Bushido code”. You can easily find information on this; consult instructor if you need help
The culture of japan considered their emperor to be a “god”
All the Japanese were indoctrinated to never surrender
The Japanese military were brutal—they tortured, raped, marauded and were as bad as Nazi Germany’s Hitler
The Japanese mixed civilians with military targets



SECTION 3:

Write about the lead-up to the decision:


Hitler was already defeated, the war in Europe was over
Japan was devastated and losing but they still continued to fight
Japan was given an ultimatum to surrender; they hesitated
Japan wanted to surrender if they could keep their emperor; US refused
Historians disagree about the decision—some say that US bombed to end the war quickly , others say USA wanted to show power and intimidate the Soviets

SECTION 4

OTHER ISSUES to consider:

Should the US have tested the bomb, or shown, or warned  the Japanese before bombing?
Should the US have given Japanese more time to surrender since they were already just about defeated?
The bombs had ever-lasting effects with radiation and cancers still to this day
We bombed twice—was that too much?
The Japanese might have continued the war with more casualties for Americans and loss of lives
US forced Japanese- Americans into internment camps
There was a lot of Japanese racism and propaganda


SECTION 5:

THE LASTING EFFECTS OF THE BOMB:
Good and bad

Radiation, cancer, devastation
USSR develops nuclear weapons
The cold war between USA and Soviet Union—many tensions and fear of a nuclear end of the world
The space-race and arms race
New inventions—cell phone technology, lasers, cancer treatments
